This is the ideal bike for the in-town commuter looking to save on gas.
If you are over 6 feet tall or 200lbs, the bike is too small. Your ride will be uncomfy, cramped, and not enjoyable.
You could probably get a used 500 for the same price. You won't be able to get a 250 anyways because they are on back order across the country. By the time you get one, the 2009 models will be out.
